Americans Catching on to Wireless Text Messaging

Text Messaging Catching On in America

by Anthony Wayne
Editor -- Cool Ringtones Blog

Philadelphia - Once considered a teenage fad, text messaging popularity in the United States is rising dramatically. According to The Wall Street Journal, 4.7 billion text messages were sent in the USA in December, 2004 compared to 2.1 billion in December, 2003.

In fact, text messaging is entering all aspects of our society, even relationships. The San Francisco Chronicle reports that nine percent of singles have even admitted to breaking up with their significant others via text message. Thirty percent of text users said that they've continued an argument by text message; probably part of the same group that ultimately contributed to the break ups.

The applications for text messaging promotions are also increasing just as quickly. Major League Baseball offers a text message service that enables its fans to catch up on the latest news and results of their favorite team. There are also custom cell phone wallpapers of team logos and unique actual game recorded play-by-play ringtones in the professional baseball offering. Live 8, which sponsored the single biggest text messaging promotion in history, garnered 26 million texts last month supporting increased government aid to poor African countries. The opportunities for promoters appear to only be limited by one's imagination.

One of the more interesting applications that we've seen is one being sold to radio stations by Chicago-based Spark Network Services. Spark, which got its start by offering 900-number based radio voice personal datelines, is now selling a suite of text messaging products called PromoTXTRadio. The text messaging products allow radio stations to offer votelines, sweepstakes, song dedications, station play lists, traffic reports, and breaking news via text message. It even allows radio stations to offer their station jingles to be played as cell phone ringtones.

Still, Americans have a long way to go to catch their Asian brethren when it comes to the growing phenomenon of text messaging. CTIA-The Wireless Association, estimates that the average Chinese cell phone user sent 651 text messages last year compared to just 203 for US wireless users.

What Is A SIM Card For A Cell Phone?
A SIM card for the phone is like having a small computer in your computer. The SIM card stores a lot of data such as your messages, whether text or pictures, your phone number, reminders, files, value added services etc. What determine the phone number are actually the card and not the phone. In fact the mobile phone company keeps track of all your calls whether incoming or outgoing through your SIM card. They can identify the precise city and country that you have taken the phone to. In this way, the company charges you for the calls. The SIM card is actually called a Subscriber Identity Module and is the size of a thumb impression. This tiny chip is a small microprocessor, but it packs in a lot of data and information. It's inserted into the back of the cell phone that one is using and only then can the cell phone be activated. As soon as the cell phone is activated, it's connected to the network of the cellular phone company. Thus one can start making and...
